This study investigated retrofit measures for improving the seismic performance of cruciform-shaped columns in the Aurora Avenue Bridge in Seattle, Washington. Tests on column specimens representing as-built conditions resulted in shear failures at modest displacement levels, accompanied by severe strength and stiffness degradation. Tests on column specimens retrofitted with jacketing of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) resulted in improved performance compared with that obtained for the as-built column specimens. The FRP jacket needed to be anchored in the reentrant corners of the cruciform-shaped columns to be effective. In addition, the FRP jacket did not provide adequate confinement to prevent flexural hinge degradation. The final retrofit design that incorporated reentrant corner anchorage and grout-filled steel collars at the plastic hinge regions produced a ductile flexural response.
